As Arc Raiders developer Embark Studios sizes up a massive launch and considers how to build on the community it's cultivated, CEO Patrick Söderlund has his eye on social elements and interactions across the player base. Amid discussion of a more Destiny-style hub area, he reckons the city of Speranza is especially fertile ground.
Speaking with IGN, Söderlund examines the balance of PvE and PvP that defines Arc Raiders, and the surprisingly friendly player base that's sprung up around it. He reiterates that the sandbox and community surprised Embark in many ways, as "the stuff that happens in Arc Raiders is just the output, which is incredible and very rewarding for us to see as developers."
